Reykjadalur Thermal Bathing Pools
Hiking area
👍👍 Amazing thermal bath, well worth the hike. If you’re a little on the bigger side it is completely doable, just be aware the first 20-25 mins is uphill and pretty tiresome but after that it’s smooth sailing rest of the way. If you want to avoid paying parking just park outside the parking lot and wal...

Hótel Kvika

👍 Good location. Junior suite was a big size. Coffee and other drinks from machine 24/7.
No kettle in rooms.
Two outdoor hot tubs and sauna available for guests. Sauna wasn't working for us for some reason.
Good range of variety of breakfast. Tour buses do come and fill up the breakfast hall though.

Hveradalir Geothermal Area
Tourist attraction
👍👍 We drove by here on our way to the airport and noticed a couple of people walking on boardwalks among the steam. We quickly exited and parked at the closed hotel. There were geothermal pools, mud pots and steam vents. This is a really neat area with signs explaining high temperature areas in Iceland...

👍👍 We were here with the hole family. I had the best beef ever. The viking location is great and we felt very welcomed. I hope we will see us here for a next time. Thanks a lot. IT was the perfect finish of our first trip to Iceland.

Strandakirkja Camping
Campground
👍👍 For me, this was the best camping experience in Iceland. While there are certainly more astonishing places in terms of scenery, this location stood out as the best for camping. The best part is that it's entirely free to camp here. However, it's essential to show appreciation and support the mainten...

Hotdog Booth
Hot dog restaurant
👍👍 A very kind owner! It was a pleasure chatting with him about his land and free campsite offering fresh eggs there. He not only sells hotdogs and waffles in his booth, but also has a quaint gift shop with home made wool sweaters, hats, mittens, socks and all kinds of handmade crafts just off Highway...

Hafið Bláa Restaurant With A View
Restaurant
👍👍 Great food with a nice view of the ocean. Without the wind, the sun can warm you up a lot and this restaurant was actually the only place in Iceland where we were too warm.

Hot Springs
Nature preserve
👍👍 Wonderful hike to the hot springs. It is about 1 hour to go up the the springs, I recommend taking good hiking shoes and warm clothes. It was really windy also. When you arrive on the top you’ve two rivers (one hot and one cold) continue to the hot one on the left. The higher you get the warmer it i...

Reykjadalur Valley
Wildlife refuge
👍👍 Just amazing! Loved this place. The hike, the scenery, the bathing area - everything. Only 45 minutes from Reykjavik. We travelled all over Iceland. This was my absolute favourite.
You have to pay for parking, but it's not expensive.

Gljúfurbústaðir Holiday Homes
Chalet
😠 Our barbecue caught on fire cuz of some gas leak. It was realy scary and we were scared later to use it.
The house was dirty with old food under the sofa. Place definitely too small for 8 ppl. Maybe there are 8 beds, but whole rest is just simply too small.
Equipment of the house was old and very us...

Elding Apartments
Guest house
👍👍 The dog! Not even sure there was an apartment, all I remember is a very friendly dog, good boy! Great to be able to wander up and meet some Icelandic ponies as well. In all seriousness, the apartment was great, nice location on the south coast for driving around. The location is a little way outsid...

Skíðaskálinn í Hveradölum
Restaurant
😐 This is a cool spot to visit. The hotel appears to be abandoned, but there is some geothermal pools just East of the hotel that are very interesting, and a steaming creek you can walk along. Just be careful not to step into the burning hot mud.

👍👍 One of the Best places I've been to the date. The cottages have literally everything, from dishes and cuterly to electronics (tv, fridge, Air dryer etc) and also towels with sleeping things. It has a small shower and small hot tub, but this is more then enough. It is very quite and by the time we we...
